I find it difficult to believe that this is the only planet with intelligent life forms on it.

I'll go with Stevie on this. First contact might be fraught with danger.

There's no way this is the only planet with life. I'm sure the math alone could prove the odds that there is more life out there. Especially if you believe in evolution.

There's a difference between being abducted by aliens and thinking there are possibilities of advanced lifeforms in our galaxy.

There may be possibilities of other lifeforms but there are no actual lifeforms, never were. I would bet the farm on it.

What is an "actual life form"?

Where is the intelligent life you talk about, I haven't met any yet.

Amazing program, watching it now. 'Into the Universe With Stephen Hawking,' Sunday on Discovery. I love PVR's.

We are already being assimilated into Borgs. How many people are walking around
wearing and constantly talking into the bluetooth transceivers clipped to their ears.

Hmm, if I was an alien hiding on earth posting on message boards this is just what I would say.............

Given the enormity of the universe, the odds are in favour of other lifeforms existing out there. But they're just too far away to ever visit. Until we can travel distances much faster, we'll never get to eat meet them.

Hmmm.

Suppose some aliens landed here and it was found that when eating them they tasted like a fine New York steak and that the side effects included curing and preventing cancer, increasing your IQ, and restoring the sex drive in older people.

How long do you think it would be before WE built starships so we could go invade THEIR planet?

Likewise, if we presented some sort of tasty opportunity to the aliens we'd be in some serious trouble.

Reminds me of a movie I once saw...

I was going to ask the same thing Brenda.
